Othello T.C. Richardson

God saw the road was getting rough,
The hill was hard to climb;
He gently closed those loving eyes
And whispered “Peace Be Thine.”

The weary hours, the days of pain,
The sleepless nights have passed;
The ever patient worn-out frame
Has found sweet rest at last.

Othello was born in Crozerville, Liberia. He came to the United States in the mid-1970s, where he pursued his many passions and became a family man. His love of his home country led him to become one the founding members of the Liberian Association of Michigan, were he served as its first President.
